Today this song, one of my all time favourites since I was a teenager, seems very appropriate. There is something about the video for it, never mind the words, which says all there is to say. Everything is perfect, beautiful and all I could ask for, but none of it quite raises a smile in […]
Anglesey Abbey
Anglesey Abbey is neither in Anglesey, nor an Abbey, so far as I could tell from the wander we had around it on our way home from Bury St Edmunds. It was, however, completely gorgeous and we’ll definitely be going back to do more there. It was one of those National Trust properties where they […]
Bury St Edmunds Abbey Day Out
This is the very best sort of home ed day. Sun, ruined abbeys and questions, so, so, SO many questions! The best thing about going to historical places is that I can normally answer those too 🙂 This day out at Bury Gardens, which holds the ruins of the abbey, was just amazing. We grabbed […]
The one where Merry catches up using the photos on her phone to remember things
Argh! Weeks have gone by! Argh! Right. Lots of big and important things. Masses. Huge. Fran had an appointment with her surgeon at the hospital. The upshot of this was, as we suspected, they thing she needs more surgery to correct her cleft palate. It’s been obvious for a while that she is hoarse and […]
To the Lady Volunteer in the Thrift Shop
Today my friend and I, and our 6 home educated children, were chatting to one of your co-workers in The Thrift Shop. He was telling us about the riding for the disabled programme, showing us pictures and explaining what goes on in the programme. The children, who had just spent a happy 45 minutes visiting […]
Right where I am: 1 year, 2 months.
Right at the beginning, I promised myself I would not stray down the path of marking moments and counting days. Not again. Not for Freddie. I wanted him to be more than dates and more than grief. So I can’t tell you, won’t tell you, how many days it is since he was born, or […]
A Typical Home Education Day in Photos
There are many ways to home educate. There are families who never do a formal lesson or piece of work in their entire journey; there are people who use workbooks and text books, there are people who follow the National Curriculum and people who follow their child, resourcing it from whatever is available along the […]
Allotment Watch
You can’t say fairer than seeing your first little shoots of stuff coming up 🙂 While the garden is fairly bursting with veggie life, the allotment is (understandably) behind it but these onions were only put in over the Royal Wedding Weekend and shoots were really exciting to see. There was also a garlic shoot […]
A Typical Home Ed Day in Photos – request for carnival submissions
A long time ago, when blogging was just a bright young thing, some people from the Early Years Home Ed group started a tradition of blogging a ‘typical home ed day in photos’ every year in May. The idea was slightly a joke, as not many home ed families have a ‘typical’ day 🙂 but it took off and has been a lovely thing to read and look at over the years. The Early Years Blogring, that yellow box on the right, is a testament to the numbers of people who connect and share ideas and support through blogging their home educating life.
Blanket Watch
The sanity blanket is nearing completion. It was 8 squares left and then I decided it wanted it to be 7×7 so now it is back to being 9. I really want this done now; I want it finished by the end of May, so I am knitting MADLY. Argh. I think it is good […]
